In this video I will explain that fermi energy is the kinetic energy of the highest occupied state. It is the energy particles (electron) have solely because of the quantum mechanic motion, not caused by thermal energy. I will also explain fermi velocity is the velocity particles (electrons) have due to fermi energy.
